Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes receiving a radiograph of a dental site and processing the radiograph using a segmentation pipeline to identify a plurality of oral conditions for the dental site. Processing the radiograph using the segmentation pipeline comprises: processing the radiograph using one or more first models that perform tooth segmentation, wherein the one or more first models generate a first output of tooth segmentation information comprising identifications and locations of a plurality of teeth in the radiograph; processing the radiograph using one or more second models that generate a second output comprising at least one of identifications or locations of the one or more oral conditions; and performing postprocessing to combine the first output and the second output, wherein as a result of the postprocessing each of the one or more oral conditions is assigned to one or more teeth of the plurality of teeth in the radiograph.
